Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

As I said during Second Reading, Clauses 19 to 22 are positive measures and I am certain they will bring some difference to workers. However, these clauses limit interventions to sexual harassment alone. As I have set out today, this could leave victims and potential victims of other gender-based violence in the workplace outside the Bill’s protection, as it fails to get employers to address the other forms of gender-based violence.
